Foam Floor Tiles

Can anyone recommend a good brand of interlocking foam floor tiles? I need something to put over hardwood floors to help my little guy with crawling. Im thinking foam tiles would be good. I know that some are slippery, others more sticky. I need something in between.

I bought mine from One Step Ahead. No toxic chemicals and the pattern matched the pergo flooring. Do you have real wood or pergo/laminate? I don't know about real wood matching most houses have laminate which looks like real wood.

@ajbeaud I didn't even think about getting one to match the flooring! What a great idea! I went to the one direction website, and it looks like the color of our floor is right in between the colors they have. Too bad!

I did order them. My DD is now 21 months so I don't use the flooring anymore. However for some time it was a permanent fixture inside the baby corral. If you are going to have the flooring out for awhile get the round corners for aesthetics.

I have the alphabet one from one step ahead and absolutely love it! I do not have the edges or corners. I have a cheaper one with the edges, and they constantly come off anyway. Ds1 is 3.5yo and ds2 is 13 months. We have a mat in each playroom, and the one step ahead mat is by far the most comfortable to sit on. Ds1 knew the entire alphabet by 18 months just playing with the letters.

@ajbeaud Great! Is it more slippery or sticky? Weird question, I know. Has anyone tried any of the skip hop ones?

Is it thick like the One Step Ahead? Most less expensive mats are thin. Quality over quantity with mats if you are going to keep them down for your little ones. One Step is the only one I've seen with a thick mat.
